If youre getting drilled in Florida, right nows the time to get it done.
Everybody is migrating south for the winter. Depends on the duct size, depth,
etc. Florida and Texas are full of drill operators, some arent high on meth
during the workday. Youll get prices from 5-50 a foot back. The big issue I see
is guys dont show up to quote, and when they do they dont show up to work. The
florida market is saturated with big companies offering low rates, so if youre
out and see a drill crew that looks professional working, you could likely peel
them for a short job like that at a good rate.
Ive not yet done very sandy jobs or id consider a winter vacation, but I like
my illinois soil and the rates the solar guys are paying There are some
facebook groups for drillers and jobs to connect, just make sure to view
profiles and look in the background of pics for meth pipes

The issue for me is mobilization and setup for that machine. I will not move
it for a 1k foot job unless I am getting $10K.
I can do 10K on good plowing just about as easy as 1K due to mobilization and
setup.
But 10K feet for $70K would be the preferred job.

Well would you rather do 10k feet in a day for $10k or 1k feet in a day for
$7k?

My plow cost me $125K used and takes a semi to move. You will not get the
plow, fuel, operator and mobilization for $1/foot unless it is 1M feet through
Nebraska sod with no stops.

$2.25 for plowing here, should be $1 if you ask me.

I wish I could get that for plowing. Normally it is in the $4.50 range
assuming wide open range. I have seen it as low as $1.50.

The highest I saw was $50/ft.
$6-8 sounds like plowing prices. I’d expect at least $15/ft for HDD.
Whoever’s doing it for $6-8/ft don’t lose that guy’s number.

That varies greatly. Somewhere between $6-8/ft here in central Texas
rural roads and rural subdivisions. Anywhere with more obstructions will cost
significantly more due to the effort to avoid other utilities.

What is the going rate per foot for HDD drilling and pullback of two
SDR11 ducts and a trace wire? Very sandy soil in the FL panhandle. All
materials provided? Around 4-5K' split into three or four runs.
